My dad’s uncle Pasqualino died in France.

I believe the family brought him back to Massachusetts but my parents still made a point to visit Normandy, see one of the cemeteries, and talk with survivors. It was a powerful experience for my dad.

My younger cat used to try to suck on my older cat’s tail. My older one hated that. So now the younger one just sucks on her own tail.
